After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 144

Chapter 144: Chapter 144: To Be on the Safe Side

The man before her was the Space Superpower User who had stopped her at the stairwell.

"I don’t mean any harm... I was just wondering, does your friend really accept gold?"

The man had nearly been scared to death by the immensely strong Wayne Warner.

He was a tall man, standing at 1.8 meters, but he felt like a helpless chick when Wayne Warner lifted him up.

"I’m not sure," Nina Jacobs said. "How about this? I’ll ask for you tomorrow."

This man didn’t seem to be teamed up with anyone.

He was always a lone wolf.

’He really is suspicious,’ she thought.

"Please, you have to remember! I’m begging you!"

The man looked like he was about to fall to his knees before Nina Jacobs.

"She’s my friend, after all," Nina Jacobs said, asking the questions on her mind. "You have to tell me your situation. And where did you get all these goods? Why are you in such a rush to trade Gold for supplies?"

’She suspected that the things in this man’s space were most likely ill-gotten. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be acting so sneaky all the time. He didn’t even dare show his face yesterday when it was so chaotic downstairs.’

"Are you really from City D?" the man asked, hesitating for a moment.

"I was born and raised in City D, through and through."

Nina Jacobs promptly took out her ID and flashed it in front of him.

The address on it was indeed in City D.

After seeing it, the man hesitated for a moment before finally recounting his story.

"I used to have a team. Or rather, it was less of a team and more of an organization. My girlfriend was a police officer, and she protected me the whole way. She even led me to a lot of supplies. We finally managed to get into that organization..."

The man’s nostalgic expression twisted into one of pain.

"They only valued Superpower Users. My girlfriend... she was assaulted by several of them. And... and she died. I wanted to avenge her, but I just got a brutal beating. Later, I quickly became one of the top Space Superpower Users in the organization. The boss even trusted me. I thought I could finally get her revenge. I killed those men, one by one, using whatever means I could. But in the end, I was found out. So I ran. I escaped with all the supplies in my space... I know I’m a despicable coward. Nothing I’ve done has been honorable. But I still want to live..."

"Before, all the supplies in my space had to be handed over to the organization. Later, for various reasons, they filled up my space again, but it was mostly with things you can’t eat. Gold is useless to me. Crystal Cores are useless too. All I want now is to find an isolated place to live out my life alone. But before that, I need to trade for some food."

The man finally finished speaking.

His face was a mask of deep helplessness and confusion.

"What’s your name?" Nina Jacobs asked.

"Me? My name is Xavier Coleman," the man answered automatically.

"..."

The moment he mentioned that organization, Nina Jacobs had immediately thought of the Superpower User Alliance.

Back at the golf course, the people from City A had mentioned a runaway Space Superpower User.

She remembered the name they’d said was "Xavier Coleman."

’To think he’d escape all the way here. But it wasn’t that surprising, really.’

City J was an ungoverned territory, and it was a good distance from City A.

"A place isolated from the world... A place like that probably doesn’t exist," Nina Jacobs said regretfully.

"Yeah, I know. I just want to avoid those people."

This was why he would hide at the slightest rumor.

After all, he had made off with a huge amount of supplies.

"Aren’t you afraid I’ll betray you?" Nina Jacobs asked. ’Xavier Coleman must still be hiding something.’

Xavier Coleman shook his head.

"My judgment of character has always been poor, but you helped that kid, Yuri Rhodes, today. I think that at least means you’re not the type to bully the weak."

Besides, if he didn’t trade the goods away soon, Xavier Coleman worried he wouldn’t be able to hold out for much longer.

"Tomorrow afternoon, if you’re serious about the trade, I’ll have her wait for you at the Lakeview Pavilion not far from here."

Nina Jacobs had passed a place called "Lakeview Pavilion" on her way here.

It was supposed to be a lake, but now it was completely dry, with only a pavilion left in the middle.

There weren’t many zombies there, so it should be relatively safe.

"I know the place. Please tell your friend I’ll definitely be there waiting!" Xavier Coleman promised.
